My current bathroom has no place to store an extra roll of toilet paper. Oh, it has a nice roomy cabinet under the sink, but it doesn’t open the right direction for me to reach it from the toilet. There are drawers beside the toilet, but that’s where I put my toiletries. Duh! This is a problem of epic proportions, you know. I just discovered that for $9.99, you can get an ...
The problem with jewelry boxes is how everything gets tangled into horrible little knots over time. One thing that’s helped me tremendously over the years is this acrylic folding earring screen. It stands on top of a dresser or other surface and has little holes you put the earrings through to store them. It holds up to 128 pairs of earrings for $11.99. When you’re not using it for earrings, it ...
For $155, I’d buy this metal desk and bookcase in a heartbeat if I didn’t already have a desk. It’s compact, but it’s got a big huge writing surface in addition to a monitor shelf, a shelf for your tower, space for a printer, a scanner and something else, a slide-out keyboard tray, and a CD rack. And that’s without even counting the bookshelf. It’s all made out of steel, so ...
Cedar chests are yet another great way to create storage space without giving up much room. You can use them to store clothes, blankets, linens, unsightly junk, mementos, books or pretty much anything. It always surprises me how much they actually hold, since they don’t look that big on the outside. This Light Oak Finish Cedar Chest With Padded Top ($142.37) could also act as a window seat. Or you can ...
I’d love to buy a big, antique buffet and hutch for the imaginary dining room I don’t have. In a small apartment with only a breakfast nook, there’s just not room for a piece of furniture that big. Here’s an alternative: a corner buffet and hutch that looks old-timey, for an affordable $319. This corner style is not very common, and it makes all the difference when you’re trying to ...
This super-cute Apple Dinette Set from Stacks and Stacks will warm up any breakfast nook or sheltered balcony or patio for only $149. It’s made of powder-coated metal for durability. You could dress it up with cushions and/or a tablecloth, or use it just as it is. The table measures about thirty-five inches in diameter and almost thirty inches high. It comes with the four chairs, making it an excellent bargain for ...
If you’ve got a wide hallway or space in your foyer or staircase landing, the Harwick Hall Chest can give you extra storage in an out-of-the-way place, for just $229. It can also be used as an end table or nightstand. Pieces like this are great for decluttering a home. Use it to put away clothes when they’re out of season, holiday decorations, tools, or random stuff that doesn’t have a ...
It blows my mind how much kids’ furniture can cost, even at discount outlets. This Study Center from Studio RTA is a small but useful desk and chair combo in green and purple: colorful enough to be cute, but not obnoxious. And the set is $69.99. The desk frame is made of steel and the surface is a laminate (40×24 inches), so it should hold up well against whatever kids put ...
